Yes, I live in the USA, but I didn’t know that it was national chocolate chip cookie day, or that there even was such a thing. A bit of trivia for you, though. Do you know which nation eats the most chocolate per person? The answer surprised me, though it really shouldn’t have; Switzerland, home of Swiss Chocolate.

I figured it would either be the USA or some obscure country that most people have never heard of. It does make sense, though, since Swiss chocolate is known world-wide. Hmmm…I wonder if I could get a job as a chocolate taster? Interesting thought. 😀
